POPULATION OF NEUTRON-RICH NUCLEI AROUND 48Ca WITH DEEP INELASTIC COLLISIONS.

The deep inelastic reaction ⁴⁸Ca+⁶⁴Ni at 6 MeV/A has been studied using the CLARA-PRISMA setup. Angular distributions for pure elastic scattering and total cross-sections of the most relevant transfer channels have been measured. The experimental results are compared with predictions from a semiclassical model, showing good agreement for the presently analyzed few neutrons transfer channels. The &gamm;-decay of the most intense reaction products has also been studied, giving indications of the population of states with very short lifetimes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
